Chris Sale back with Boston Red Sox on Tuesday after hospital stay

Instead the Red Sox began to play more like the team that got here.

Sale will rejoin the team in Houston for the next three games, but the severity of his illness is still unknown.

Less than 24 hours after enduring sloppy play in a series-opening loss, the Red Sox took advantage of the Astros' miscues to secure a win. Beyond that, the Red Sox have concluded that in order to make it to the World Series, and win it, they need Price, a five-time All-Star, in the rotation. The big hit came in the third when a three-run double off the Green Monster bounced around the outfield and cleared the bases. That one swing jump-started what was a 7-5 victory at Fenway Park, one that gave renewed hope to the sellout crowd of 37,960 fans on hand.

Game 3 is Tuesday night at 5:09 p.m. (ET). He hit two doubles and scored two runs in the Red Sox's 7-5 victory over the Astros in Game 2 of the ALCS. Cora told reporters after the implosion against the Yankees that he was not considering demoting Price to the bullpen, and he told Price before the Red Sox had even shed their jerseys in favor of ALDS CHAMPIONS shirts that he would have Game 2, but Price's history so far is that of perhaps the worst starting performance in 114 years of baseball postseasons.

"We're ready to compete", Bradley said. He grounded to third his next three at-bats. Benintendi singled to score Betts and scored himself on a single by Rafael Devers, who was making his first appearance of the series. Gerrit Cole, who has been underrated all season playing behind Verlander in the lineup, was not sharp.

"We'll see how [Sale] feels physically, and then after that we'll decide what we're going to do", said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. There's not too many hard-hit ground balls into his shift. "He's staying through it". But just remember, one of the teams that dug out from a hole that big was the 2004 Red Sox in the ALCS, and they were down 0-3 before their comeback. He added an RBI double in the eighth off Hector Rondon.

Brady, Patriots top Chiefs for wild win
Kansas City does have a porous defense, however, which should allow Tom Brady and Co.to keep pace on the scoreboard. But he turned the ball over twice in the first half and the high-scoring Chiefs were held to three field goals.

"I don't have any social media or anything like that", Eovaldi said (via the Houston Chronicle). "And there's no sense in stopping". We went out there to make sure there was no issue with his head. Relief pitcher Matt Barnes got four outs and Ryan Brasier worked around a two-out walk in the seventh for a scoreless inning.

The Astros tied the game in the second when Springer doubled down the right field line past Pearce's dive at first base.

"That's my first team win as a starter", Price said with a smirk. "But our offense, our defense, everybody rallied together". "That's what we've done all year".

Yet when Price walked off the mound with the Red Sox clinging to a one-run lead, almost all of the 37,960 fans at Fenway Park stood and cheered for him.

"It's always good that people talk about the game, " Cora said, "and if that's the reason they're talking about it, so be it".
